Changes In Latitudes 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 This is probably a silly question, but.... My boat has it's custom fit mooring cover with the bow portion velcro-ing to the cockpit portion at the walk-thru windshield. I trailer my boat, and it spends a decent amount of time in my driveway where debris (and my cats) get through the cover at the velcro point. Also, the cover is yellow and is fading due to sun exposure. So, to preserve the cleanliness of my Monterey 180, and preserve the mooring cover, is it okay / advisable to put a larger boat cover over the mooring cover while she sits in my driveway? Would I have problems with moisture getting trapped between the two? I'm tempted to buy one of those $100 loose fit covers whose straps reach down and attach to the trailer. And if I were to do this, what do you do with the bimini? Lay her flat and put the cover on? Your thoughts / recommendations appreciated. Thanks Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Matt You might be right about a moisture issue,although I'm no expert. If you get a full boat cover I would leave the other covers off. If you buy a cover that is suitable for winter storage, you can kill two birds with one stone...... Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
